A new report found that cases of babies with congenital syphilis in Mississippi rose 10-fold between 2016 and 2022 from 10 to 110.
The number of babies born with syphilis in Mississippi has risen 10-fold over the last several years, according to a new report.
In addition to the number of cases rising, the hospitalization rate also increased from 2.0 per 100,000 in 2016 to 24.8 per 100,000, according to the report. Infants with congenital syphilis were also significantly more likely than those without the disease to be born to mothers with illicit drug use.
More than 2,000 cases of congenital syphilis were reported in 2021 alone, which is the highest number reported in one year since 1994, the federal health agency said. Without treatment, the infection can lead to severe defects including low blood count, jaundice, skin rashes, deformed bones, blindness, deafness or meningitis, which is inflammation of the tissues surrounding the brain and spinal cord.
